Chapter 390: The Gambler

Song Yuren's intentions were already very clear, and Song Yuren was forced to be urgent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only Song Yuren, but Peng Chaodong also understood that if the war in these places continued like this, it would drag on indefinitely. Emperor Zhao has a great cause in the country, even if his family is big, he can't afford to fight like this, and he can't afford to consume so much. The final result of such consumption is nothing more than that Da Zhao was dragged down by the war in these places. The amount of military expenditure required to sustain the continuation of the fighting in these places is enormous.

Song Yuren's borrowing of silver from his ministers has already clearly shown this. Da Zhao's finances were dragged down by the war for more than ten years. Today, it was finally dragged down.

Not only financially Da Zhao has been passive, but also militarily Da Zhao has been passive.

Not to mention the rest, just talking about the item of Da Zhao's troops, although the number of Da Zhao's troops is huge, if Da Zhao's troops are only calculated by quantity. The number of town troops, that is, regular armies, has far exceeded the population of the entire Manshu tribe in the Liao Empire. But even so, what can be done?

In such a large number of regular armies, there are actually only a few armies that can be counted on their fingers.

These elites are capable of fighting (note that they are capable of fighting but not good at fighting), and the number of troops is also decreasing day by day. The most typical example: Qin Jun.

Since the Qin army participated in the war against the Manshu people against Liao in the thirteenth year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty, the number of casualties of the Qin army has continued to increase, although during this period, Peng Chaodong continued to deduct the old capital from the Shaanxi region and mobilized the Qin army left in Shaanxi to supplement the Qin army in Liaodong, so as to deal with the war against Liao that maintained Liaodong. barely maintained the balance of power with the Liao army. In Liaodong, he showed that he was on a par with the Liao army.

But under this simple evenly matched, the Qin army has paid too much, and these efforts are all payments that others can't see.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, as of today, the number of Sanqin soldiers who died at the hands of the Liao army has exceeded 50,000. The original 100,000 Qin troops are now less than 50,000. Nearly half of the 1120,000 troops maintained by the Qin army on the surface were later transferred from the Shaanxi region, rather than the first Qin army.

There must also be a bottom line for deducting the old capital in Shaanxi. For more than a year, Peng Chaodong has continued to detain Shaanxi's old capital, and almost drained all the reserve forces of the Qin army in Shanxi. The number of Qin troops left behind in Shaanxi is only less than 50,000, and the combat effectiveness of these remaining Qin troops and the first batch of Qin troops who went out of the customs to the Liaodong region are not of the same grade at all.

The first batch of 100,000 Qin troops who went out of the customs are all the essence of the Qin army, and they are the last family foundation that Peng Chaodong has accumulated over the years. Now Peng Chaodong is even going to fight out his family. The Manshu Liao Kingdom can't withstand consumption, can the Great Zhao Empire withstand consumption? The answer is naturally no, any consumption has a degree. Beyond this point, it is dangerous.

The number of capable soldiers left by Da Zhao has become smaller and smaller, and he can't afford to resist the consumption of war. The Great Zhao Empire must face up to this. There is another point that Peng Chaodong is most worried about and cannot be ignored.

This point is that today's Qin army is no longer the five victories in the five battles of the past. The Menggu tribe who fought usurped the mouse, and even threw away the Hetao area that they valued the most. The Qin army of that era is gone forever, and the current Qin army is constantly weakening, and the current Qin army is getting weaker and weaker in combat compared to before.

If this continues, one day the Qin army will also weaken to the point that it is no different from the ordinary town army.

Why doesn't Peng Chaodong want to end this war that has lasted for three generations and decades as soon as possible? But does such an opponent really have a chance of winning?

Song Yuren's words also made Peng Chaodong very moved, yes, this is a good opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For Manshu Liaoguo, there is no blow more fatal than the death of Wanyan Shengcong.

The Manshu people are a leader people, and for three generations, it is precisely because of the outstanding leaders that the Manshu people have risen from an obscure small tribe at the foot of the Changbai Mountain to the largest ethnic group outside the Saiwai.

The only nation around Da Zhao that has the strength to compete with Da Zhao.

Of course, there is another reason that forces Peng Chaodong to think about this, and this reason is the most heart-wrenching problem for Peng Chaodong at the moment, but he can't do anything about it. This problem is the loss of power of the Qin Party.

To be honest, what he saw and heard in the court that day, Peng Chaodong already had a premonition that the day when the Qin Party would lose power was coming.

Where in this world is there a party that never loses power, and the Qin party has maintained a dominant position in the court for three generations of emperors. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is not easy for the Qin Party to maintain the trust of three generations of emperors, and it can even be said to be a miracle. But this miracle will eventually be a thing of the past.

Peng Chaodong was very disappointed with the performance of the Qin Party, Zhejiang Party officials can take out the silver, is it true that the Qin Party officials are so poor that they can't take out any silver? The answer, of course, is no, the officials of the Qin Party do not have the money, Peng Chaodong will not believe anything, only a three-year-old child will believe it.

Let's just say that Xu Hongqian, the leader of the Qin Party, although Xu Hongqian is not so wealthy, but Xu Hongqian is an important minister of the three dynasties, and the first assistant of the two dynasties, Xu Hongqian's oil and water must be very sufficient, in terms of property, Xu Hongqian will not be under Lu Zongcheng.

The Qin Party officials were worried that they would not be able to explain the source of the silver after taking it out, and this was the most fundamental reason. In the final analysis, it is the selfishness of the Qin party officials who is at work.

Such a party and such a leader can not be overthrown today. The only thing Peng Chaodong can do now is to do more for the Great Zhao court before the fall of the Qin Party, and do as much as he can as a courtier. In this way, he is worthy of the emperors of the Three Dynasties for Peng Chaodong's kindness and trust in Peng Chaodong.

In the future, the day when the Qin Party falls, it will eventually affect him Peng Chaodong.

"What the emperor said is not wrong."

Peng Chaodong gritted his teeth and finally let it go! Peng Chaodong held back for so long, and finally at this moment, Peng Chaodong couldn't hold back anymore and was determined to let go!

"As long as there are enough materials and backing support, as long as the emperor can trust Peng Chaodong, Chaodong can quell the rebellion of Manshu Liao Kingdom in one battle this time!"

Peng Chaodong's words were impassioned, and his tone was solemn, as if in the next second, Peng Chaodong would be able to level the entire Liao Kingdom.

Now it seems that it is no longer very appropriate to describe Peng Chaodong as a military commander. It may be more appropriate to describe Peng Chaodong as a gambler. Peng Chaodong is now a gambler, a gambler with red eyes! (To be continued.) )
